GAINESVILLE — The No. 1-ranked University of Florida basketball team swept through its SEC schedule unbeaten.

Why not sweep the major postseason SEC awards?

The SEC announced on Tuesday that Gators coach Billy Donovan and senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin, senior center Patric Young of Jacksonville and junior guard/forward Dorian Finney-Smith reaped the top basketball awards from the conference. Donovan was named coach of the year for the second in a row and the third in the last four seasons, Wilbekin was picked as SEC player of the year, Young was named defensive player of the year, and Finney-Smith received the sixth man of the year.

Donovan is the first SEC coach of the year in back-to-back seasons since Don DeVoe of Tennessee in 1981 and 1982. C.M. Newton of Alabama and Adolph Rupp of Kentucky are the only other conference coaches to win two in a row.

Wilbekin, Young and Finney-Smith are the second Gators to win in those award categories. Chandler Parsons was player of the year in 2011, Corey Brewer was defensive player of the year in 2006 and Chris Richard was sixth man of the year in 2007.

Wilbekin (12.9 points and 3.2 assists per game) and senior forward Casey Prather (14.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, and an SEC-leading .625 shooting percentage) were named to the All-SEC first team, and Young made the second team.

Young (10.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game) and Wilbekin were named to the All-SEC defensive team for the second season in a row, and Young was named the SEC scholar-athlete of the year for the third time in a row, a first in conference history.

Finney-Smith came off the bench in 27 of 29 games to score 9.4 points and collect 6.9 rebounds per game.

It’s the first time since the current conference awards format was adopted by the SEC in 2004 that one team had three players win league-wide awards and the first time that one team swept coach of the year, player of the year, defensive player of the year and sixth man of the year.

Donovan and his players reacted true to form.

“Any individual honor, to me, is just a reflection of your team,” he said during a news conference on Monday in anticipation of the number of awards. “Whatever awards are given out or whatever honors are given out to any of our guys, I think they would be the first one to say, ‘Without my teammates, this would not have been possible.’ ”

Young echoed his coach about receiving his award.

“It’s a reflection of our coaches, their belief in me and for me to be coachable and apply it on the court,” Young said on Tuesday before the Gators practiced at the O’Connell Center. “If there was an all-defensive team award, that would be something more to be praised.”

Young received the award despite not being a prolific shot-blocker. The 6-foot-9 Providence graduate has 0.9 blocks per game and isn’t close to being among the top 10 in the SEC.

“My coaches have prepared me to see what’s happening before it does, and rotate properly,” Young said.

Young also leads the team with nine charges drawn and has 38 for his career.

Young took the news in stride that he was defensive player of the year but not on the All-SEC first team. He was beaten out by Jarnell Stokes of Tennessee, Julius Randle of Kentucky and Johnny O’Bryant of LSU.

“If I had to vote I would have voted for [Stokes] because he had a monster year,” Young said. “Julius Randle deserved it. Johnny O’Bryant ... those guys put the numbers up, and they deserved it.”

Wilbekin said he would never have expected a player of the year award after a rocky start to the season when he was suspended for five games due to a violation of team rules that was not disclosed.

“Not a chance, no,” he said when asked if he could have imagined the award when he played his first game against Jacksonville. “[It was] Coach D believing in me and [athletic director] Jeremy Foley giving me a second chance,” Wilbekin said. “All of my teammates had faith in me.”

The Gators (29-2, 18-0) open play in the SEC tournament in Atlanta on Friday at 1 p.m. by facing the winner of an early-round game between Texas A&M and Missouri.
